We had an informal meeting with Mr. Radhesh Balakrishnan, Chief Competitive Officer of Microsoft India at Trivandrum. Only I (Praveen) and Anand Narayanaswami were present. (most other MVPs are out of Kerala and others informed they cant attend due to different reasons). We discussed about Kerala Govt.’s decision on implementing Linux in Schools, Software piracy, Microsoft Vista Launch in Kochi and some other topics.

Lunch was not there since it was already 3 O’ Clock.

Anand Narayanaswamy presented Mr. Radesh, his latest book “Community Server Quickly”.

Error Message: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size was reached.

Solution: Ofcourse, it is not a best practice to keep open the connection objects. Close the opened connections after using. Anyway using “Pooling=False;” in connection string can solve this error. Remember! it is not a good practice.
